ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma reflexão acerca dos fundamentos subjetivos daquilo que alegoricamente denominamos de discurso do cidadão de bem. Postulamos que a articulação da dimensão discursiva do cidadão de bem é homóloga à paradoxal dialética da ação do supereu, que circunscreve o regime da lei, ao mesmo tempo em que resguarda, em sua constituição mais elementar, um estatuto completamente fora da lei. Analisamos, por fim, os efeitos dessa conjuntura a partir de algumas reações sociais frente a um acontecimento proveniente do campo da arte: a exposição "Queermuseu". Ressaltamos que as reivindicações dos cidadãos de bem que proclamam a defesa da família, da moral e dos bons costumes denunciam o ímpeto, desses sujeitos, em sobrepujar as condições de seus próprios ideais.
The objective of this work is to propose a reflection about the subjective foundations of what we allegorically call of good citizen's speech. We postulate that the articulation of the discursive dimension of the good citizen is homologous to the paradoxical dialectics of the action of the superego, which circumscribes the regime of the law, while at the same time safeguards, in its most basic constitution, a statute completely outside the law. Finally, we analyze the effects of this conjuncture from some social reactions to an event coming from the field of art: the exhibition "Queermuseu". We emphasize that the claims of the good citizens, who proclaim the protection of family, moral and decency, denounce the impetus, of these subjects, to overcome the conditions of their own ideals.

Teaching owners how to train their dogs is an important part of maintaining the health and safety of dogs and people. Yet we do not know what behavioral characteristics of dogs and their owners are relevant to dog training or if owner cognitive abilities play a role in training success. The aim of this study is to determine which characteristics of both dogs and owners predict success in completing the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen training program. Before the first session of a dog training course, owners completed surveys evaluating the behavior and cognition of their dog and themselves. Additionally, we collected the dogs' initial training levels via behavioral tasks. We then examined what factors predicted whether the dogs passed the Canine Good Citizen test after the class ended. In terms of dog characteristics, we found that, while dog age, sex and neuter status did not predict success, owner-rated levels of disobedience did predict completion of the program. In terms of owner characteristics, owners who scored higher on cognitive measures were more likely to have their dogs complete the program. Finally, dog-owner characteristics such as the time spent training predicted success. Thus, characteristics of the dogs, owners, and how they interact seem to predict training success. These findings suggest that there are some owner, dog, and dog-owner characteristics that can facilitate or hinder dog training.
